Re: 2019 MSB Farm System Rankings

Our two systems are so closely matched. High end talent at the top and loads of depth following it up. Come five years it could literally go either way as to which of us has the better return on our present rankings. I have more positional talent, while you have more high end pitching talent. And SP being the Golden Ticket, if Soroka maintains his rookie production, Kopech/Honeywell can regain anything close to their pre-injury level, May becomes Gingergaard, and Garcia, Gray, Balazovic, Richardson take it another notch, your ACL's could be set for the next decade in the rotation. I do like my high ceiling positional depth though. I'm hopeful of fielding a full homegrown infield of Alonso at 1B, B. Lowe/Madrigal at 2B, Rodgers/Lewis/Witt/Mateo at SS/3B.
Overall though, I'm envious of your teams position. Winning now with a strong major league team (that looks to be one of the class teams next season too), and fielding a top level farm system. Best of both worlds. That's where I want my Bums to be.
